A video of Adam “Pac-Man” Jones’ recent arrest has surfaced.
The former NFL player was taken into custody on June 7 for allegedly being publicly intoxicated. The footage shows him interacting with police officers, where things took a turn. The video was obtained by TMZ Sports.
Initially, a Covington, Kentucky officer approached Jones to inquire about an incident at a nearby bar. Things escalated quickly, and he became argumentative.
In the recording, Jones can be heard raising his voice, attempting to distance himself from the police, though he later tries to settle down and clarify what was happening.
During the encounter, Jones explained that he and his friends had a disagreement with the bar staff. But even after sharing his side, he attempted to walk away, which ultimately led to his arrest.
While in custody, he didn’t go down easily. He can be seen cursing at the officers, insisting he hadn’t done anything wrong. He continued to question why they had singled him out.
The officers informed him that it was part of their investigation, but he remained defiant, shouting insults at them as he sat in the police car.
At one point, he referred to the officers as “silly” and “co-sick,” along with other expletives.
Things became even more heated as he was being processed for booking. In the footage, he appears to throw an elbow at one of the officers, causing the officer to exclaim about his bleeding lips.
Charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct, Jones was booked at 1:51 AM at the Kenton County Jail. He pleaded not guilty in court on June 11.
Jones’ representative released a statement regarding the footage, asserting that his client didn’t do anything wrong and merely exercised his right to inquire about the situation.
The representative criticized the officers for what he described as “overly enthusiastic policing,” arguing they should respect individual rights more.
Jones, a former all-pro player with a 12-year NFL career, has had his share of legal issues during his time in the league, notably facing a suspension for the entire 2007 season and additional penalties in 2008 from Commissioner Roger Goodell for violating the league’s conduct policy.
This incident followed another arrest after an event involving Jake Paul and Mike Tyson in Arlington, Texas, in November, where he faced similar charges.
In 2023, he was also arrested at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport on charges related to alcoholism and disorderly behavior.
